Bpost Bank Trofee – GP Mario De Clerq kicked the fo’ realz Euro CX season off in Ronse on Sunday. And by kicked off I mean, EPIC MUDFIESTA. The rain and wind turned what was essentially a grass crit laatste jaar into an adult slip-n-slide with epic mudbutt as the consolation prize.

The U23 CX wereld shuddered and the Juniors breathed a sigh of relief as wunderkind, Mathieu Van Der Poel, upgraded and subsequently crushed the U23 field. Good luck with that, dudes.

Elite Vrouwen

The ladies race was dominated by the late Amy Dombroski’s teammate, Nikki Harris. In what turned out to be a fitting tribute, Nikki crushed the field honoring Amy with her victory post. A fantastic last lap from Helen Wyman gave her second ahead of Sanne Cant to round out the podium.
